Packed with period charm, this villa offers a true taste of Provençal life. The sun-kissed swimming pool and garden are pretty and peaceful, while inside the rooms are lavishly decorated with ornate details, like antique chandeliers and gilt-framed artwork. Full of character, yet invitingly comfortable. We love that it’s an easy stroll from here to the village of Lorgues, which means popping to the shops or heading out to dinner couldn’t be easier. A unique retreat that feels serene and secluded, yet still walking distance from fresh boulangerie bread or sampling French fare in a local restaurant? We think that’s the definition of a heavenly holiday in Provence.
